Concurrent Occurrence of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke in a Patient in a Low Resource Setting Hospital, Western Uganda: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The concurrent occurrence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in different anatomical regions of the brain is a rare but clinically significant phenomenon. Traditionally, stroke is classified into ischemic or hemorrhagic subtypes based on distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. Ischemic stroke results from cerebral arterial occlusion leading to tissue infarction, while hemorrhagic stroke is caused by rupture of cerebral vessels with extravasation of blood into brain parenchyma or surrounding spaces. The simultaneous presence of both stroke subtypes challenges this dichotomous classification and presents diagnostic as well as therapeutic dilemmas. Available epidemiological data suggest that the vast majority of stroke cases present as a single pathological subtype. We present a case of an elderly lady known hypertensive on treatment with no known history of prior stroke that presented with sudden onset focal neurological deficits for 3 days, depressed level of consciousness. Non contrasted CT scan of the brain showed concurrent ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in two different areas. Management was only supportive with definitive management impossible due to the dilemma of thrombolysis use in such a case which was also not available at the facility. The poor outcome was compounded by dilemma in management and financial constraints with patient being discharged on request of attendants to home care with only mild improvement in the focal neurological deficits and depressed level of consciousness. Conclusion: The diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma experienced in cases of concurrent ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke are compounded in low resource settings by late presentation, inadequate diagnostic measures and limited management options thus the poorer outcome in an already complicated medical dilemma.
